Ukribip
About 96 km from the Kamiesberg North North West (see card), south of the Orange River. The U- is like Namaǃ U-S = Poot, cling, hoof, foot (Kreenley 1889 Wortschatz 318). The bib is spot indicator (Vedder letter 22 3,1950). The -Cri is uncertain, it is the word part that means '(open) scratch'. Apparently the meaning is the 'place (BI-P) where the animals with the claw scratch the water (ǃ You and 11kharo)'.

afr
Ongeveer 96 km van die Kamiesberge af noordnoordwes (kyk kaart), ten suide van die Oranjerivier. Die U- is soos Nama ǃu-s = poot, klou, hoef, voet (Kroenlein 1889 Wortschatz 318). Die -bip is plekaanduidend (Vedder brief 22 3 1950). Die -kri- is onseker, dit is wel die woorddeel wat beteken '(oop)krap'. Blykbaar is die betekenis die 'Plek (bi-p) waar die diere met die klou die water oopkrap (ǃu en 11kharo)'.
